About This Product
Three young teenage boys learn that there is a greater sting than the sting of fire, but there is victory in even the worst trial.
"Don, the farming facts are simple...Whatever a man sows, that is exactly what he reaps."
Young Gail Brown had recently turned 15. He had "grown up" physically and His arms bulged with "farm boy" muscles. Still, in heart, he was just a boy.
Ned Brown, Gail's 13-year-old cousin, lived 3 or 4 miles away on another farm. Gail and his 12-year-old brother Mark were Ned's best friends. The three boys would often spend their Sunday afternoons together.
It was Easter Sunday. Ned's parents had invited his cousins Gail and Mark over for Sunday afternoon. After dinner the boys dashed to the barn. There they played in the hay loft, leaping over and around the huge piles of hay and building forts with the hay bales.
Then they went into the shed with the animals, tossing them bits of food and watching them scramble. The little pigs were the funniest—they were hogs, for sure. Aunt Ruth found the boys there around 4:30 p.m. Back inside she told Uncle Bruce, "Well, they're out there feeding those little pigs." Surely, no harm could come from that!
Suddenly, the boys had a real brainstorm. They would kill some pigeons and build a fire to roast them. They stampeded for the house. But Aunt Ruth said, "No! You boys can 't build any fires—it's windy and things are dry. You just can't build any fires today." She didn't see Ned snitch a box of safety matches as they went out the door.
